I am a middle-aged woman who loves to swim. (Specs: 51 years old, 5'5", 135 lbs; medium-sized jammers; whatever excess weight I have is all located on my derriere.) These Dolfin Jammer shorts are ideal. They hug the body and create no drag in the water. They are extremely comfortable and do not pinch or bind anywhere. In fact, these shorts are so comfortable, they're barely noticeable, either in the water or when wearing them to the pool under clothing. They are easy to take on and off. They are figure-flattering (particularly for those women whose thighs are not as toned as they once were), in part because the shorts descend to about 3-4 inches above the knee. Because I've been swimming in my Dolfin jammers for only about two months, I cannot say with great certainty that they're durable, although, so far, they give every indication that they are. (Post-swimming, I always soak them in a pail of water and Woolite.) My only complaint is that the elastic twists a bit in the waistband, and so I must flattened out the elastic band as the shorts are drying (happily, only once per drying session). Overall, I am extremely happy with my Dolfin shorts and plan to buy this product for years to come, as long as Dick's keeps selling them. I wear these shorts with takini tops. I am happier with these shorts than with the Dolfin one-piece suit, which pulls on the shoulders and which flattens the bust completely.
